He enlisted in the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a team of elite firefighters based in Prescott, Arizona. Their leader, Eric Marsh, was in a desperate crunch after four hotshots left the unit, and perhaps seeing a glimmer of promise in the skinny would-be recruit, he took a chance on the unlikely McDonough, and the chance paid off. Despite the crew's skepticism, and thanks in large part to Marsh's firm but loving encouragement, McDonough unlocked a latent drive and dedication, going on to successfully battle a number of blazes and eventually win the confidence of the men he came to call his brothers. Then, on June 30, 2013, while McDonough--"Donut" as he'd been dubbed by his team--served as lookout, they confronted a freak, 3,000-degree inferno in nearby Yarnell, Arizona. The relentless firestorm ultimately trapped his hotshot brothers, tragically killing all 19 of them within minutes. A harrowing and redemptive tale of resilience in the face of tragedy, Granite Mountain is also a powerful reminder of the heroism of the people who put themselves in harm's way to protect us every day."-- $c Back cover. 600 10 $a McDonough, Brendan. 610 20 $a Granite Mountain Hotshots (Wildfire fighters) 650 0 $a Wildfires $z Yarnell. $z Yarnell. 651 0 $a Yarnell (Ariz.) $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Fires $x Casualties $z Yarnell. $z Yarnell. 650 0 $a Wildfire fighters $z Yarnell. $z Yarnell. 700 1 $a Talty, Stephan, $e author. 941 $a 3 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430020357.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20180731021227.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720050350.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1AD223028BE611E8B24E8D0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IO4Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
